Early Start Summer Coursework and Housing Options

Are you an incoming fall 2025 student? Do you want to get an early start on coursework at a special summer rate? 

Viterbo University is pleased to offer summer 2025 coursework and housing options for both continuing and incoming students. Course and housing options are subject to change and availability, and more details can be viewed at www.viterbo.edu/summer. The best course options for new incoming students include: ENGL 104 Reading, Writing, Elements of Argument II, ENVS 101 Environmental Science, COMM 105 Digital Imaging, MATH 130 Introductory Statistics, or any other core classes that have yet to be added to the list.

I'm interested! How do I apply to take an early start summer class?

  • Notify Admissions: incoming fall 2025 students that want an early start with coursework in summer 2025 should notify Grace Marco (608-796-3013 and ghmarco@viterbo.edu) in Admissions as soon as possible. In your message, please include the course you'd like to take as well as if you'd like summer housing. 
  • Registration Deadlines: Summer Session I courses run May 12-June 27, and Summer Session II courses run June 30-Aug. 15. To leave plenty of time for us to connect with you about your plans, confirm space in the course, and complete registration, please notify us at least a week in advance of the start of your course. If approved for early start coursework, students will be notified and assisted with registration by a member of our Advising and Career Development team (608-796-3828 or acd@viterbo.edu). 
  • Costs: While your fall/spring financial aid wouldn't apply to these early start summer 2025 courses, the courses are being offered at a significantly reduced tuition rate. 
    • Tuition: $520 per credit 
    • Regular 2024-25 student activity and technology fees.
    • Lab or studio fees, if applicable.
    • Books: costs vary based on the course, whether you seek new or used books, and if you elect to rent or purchase your books. More information can be found at the Viterbo University Bookstore.
    • Housing (optional, on a space available basis): Summer apartment-style housing is available at a reduced weekly rate. Apply for summer housing by May 1.
